ETCETERA. £TRAY THOUGHTS FOR CHANCE READERS. ‘There happened the other day one of those {retty combinations of form and color of life which are £o often drifted togcther by the veer- ing currents of the streets. It was in front of ashowy dry-goods house,—one of the many- storied edifices that lend to State street such an airof lofty maguificence as to excite the awe of and that even caused Dom Pedro to all ihis 5 city of palsces. An equipage can.e sweeping up to the curbstone; a wide-seated sgleigh of the most graceful and expensive pat- tern; gaylv-caparisoned stceds; a sable driver . fo livery; ditto footman. Thé door of the dleigh) was flung open with s flourish, and Madame, gorgeous in ermine and feathers, bastened into the store. Just at the edge of the sidewalk, and close to the slefgh, was crouched an old woman grinding »3 hand-organ. Her tattered and faded shawl {yas hugzed tightly sbout her shivering form, -while her fect, protected by thin and gaping thots, beat an gccompaniment to the music upon the icy slabs. She looked fondly at the rich crimson robes in the sleigh, which seemed by heir very warmth of color to irradiate a pleas- ant glow, and now and then she nodded herhead sammowfully. But she never left off grindingthe asthmatic little organ or beating: time with her g:czinx icet. The footman strutted up and . B The strects are growing liveller with the ap- proach of the holidays. It may be true, as - merchants are claiming everywhere, that busi- nessisdull; yet one would hardly believe it after taking a stroll along State or Madison streets any decently comfortable afternoon. The fair sex may be seen there in extreme pro- fusion. ) By the way, why doesn’t some local poet lend the magic of his pen to attune the praises of our very noteworthy thoroughfares? The oniy fault that can be found with those other- wise excellent routes of travel is_that they haven’t any literaty assoclations. ng can'’t some 3spiring genius~—and no one doubts but {ha there are plenty, especially of the vounger sort—composeé an epic on Book-Sellers’ Row, or an ode to Ladies’ Entrance (spplying it to either the fl;ner, Grand Pacific, Tremont,or Sherman, accofding to his _personal Ipreremnchs), or sn jdyll on the Blue Island Rail- way, or zu epologue on the Beauties of the Clark and Madison Strees Crossings? ¥ are subjects lying around as plen- tfnlly 8s goats in the Seychelles Islands. All we waut now for our strects is association,— something that will elevate them above the mere ordinary relations of trade, and give them areputation ‘in the world of literature. How pleasant it would be, if, in after yvears, while walking down Wabash avenue with a friend, ope could point to a cormer_and say, * Thisis the spot alluded to by &oor Fitzzibbons in his eelebrsted poem on the ¢ Wonders of Wabash Arvenue,’ beginning: Ob, the corner of Twelfth 18 the place for me, When my heart is glad and my mind is free: 1 sit and muse of the little top rail 0f the fence, though wild Lhe zephyr's gale.™ ‘What ahost of tender recollections would be called up bysuch an alinsion! It i3 to be hoped that some of the local- poets will take hecd of theidea and confer a benefit npou society, as ;gl as earn a lasting foothold on the ladder of S = Buggestions belng in order, Etcetera would " Yketosubmit one right here that concerns every somety-goer and party-ziver. -Etiquette Das ordained and custom hassanctioned the babit of formal leave-takings at receptions. It isre- grded as essential for the host and hostess, or least the latter, to stand just inside of the front parlor to receive guests as they enter, and tointroduce and be introduced. It is also un- derstood that all guests on departing shall Panse to say their good nights and to express Lo thelr hostess their profound gratification at _ be “perfectly elegant” time they have bad. This {5 enough in theory, but the -pan of fact is not at'all pleasant, as every 'y who has ever given alarge party knows. The case is that people begin to arrive at an af- 1air of this kind st about half-past § o'clock.and they continue stringing in by squads until after 10&'dlock, keeping the hostess constantly at her Dost {o receive them. By thav time the carlier amvais are beginning to depart, and so it hap- Pens that she has rarely an opportunity to min- gle with the company or partake of any of the ?fl}gdyments with which they have been pro- ; o Tho only remedy for this injustice—for it is Danifestly an injustice—is to dispense with the €ave-takings, which are mothing but a bore, 2myway; to al]l parties concerned. After the fuests have all arrived, the bostess should be ed from further anxiety- A vew kind of cntertainment has Jately been Started in Boston, as was explained by a recent correspondent of TEE TriBCye, Itiscalleda @rap-hook party, and the members take turns Inreading pieces selected from their own col- Almost everybody keeps or has keptat gome time 2 scap-book, containing odd clippings from the newspaper which bappened to suit thelr partieutar tastes. Those are always enter- taining, and frequently valuable from the infor- Wation contained in them, and afford an yn- ling gource of amusement. It is suggested that such parties might be Beld advactageonsly in this city. There are many people who would like to be sociable, but %o from their difidence do not like to take 2 active part in literary or dramatic clubs, be- cause one involves the production of origiual Composition and the other the exposing of their Weazre powers of mimicry on the stage. In this the difficalty will be ooviated, and ss all the participants are on s level there can be 1o partiality on the one hand and no reluctance to takie purt in the exerclscs on the other.

MILWAUKEE. “THOSE MERRY BELLS”—EVESINGS AT THI CHOURCHES~—GOSSIPINGS IN GENZRAL. Spectal Correspondence af The Tribune. MILWAUKEE, Dec. 16.—The polar wave, which ached high-tide in Milwaukee at 7 o’clock or hereabouts Saturday morning lust, premised a snow-storm. thercby holding the old adazegood, even ju the faceof a wind blowing forty miles an hour, and seeming to bring nothing but dls- aster to anybody. Houscholders with exploded range water-backs, and uncxpected plambers’ bills, may have been doleful, but livery menand lovers were delighted. The tintinnsbulation of the sleigh-bells made the frosty air musital, and. the thoroughfares wore a holiday look. SFRING, OR GRAND, OK WHAT avenue was the scene of sleiching activities ag usuzl. 'The interesting and amusing discussion with regard to the renaming of old Spring strect: seems likely-to continue to enliven the columns of the Sentinel for an indefinite period. * Old Kesident ™ has the best of the argament sa far, it appears to me. Although marching in the ranks of progression, on geverz! principles, I cannot se¢ that our fine avenue will galn any- thing by the new pame proposed.

GHUROH PARLORS have been the sceme of varions festivitiea throughout the week. Tbese falrs and festivals have, {n fact, had a monopaly of sodety inter- est, and the consequence bas been that nothing else of note had a chance for occurrence. Theae receptions, suppers, ana festivals of all sorts are 1 remarkable evidence of the rapidity with which relizious ascetiusm is disappearing from our sectarian churches. One may not old enough to be termed veoerable tv remember when the addition of a handsomely-furnished parlor or a well-eppointed kitchen to a church- editice would have been thought little shart of sacrileze. The use of these for soclal parties, theatrical reprezentations, and secular con- certs would bave been pronounced a pro- fanation. The change 1is a hopefal onme- the bczinnlng:l tac end, whee all severe self- sbnegation shall be dropped out, together with crude and cruel superstitious, and be superseded by a relizious worship broudened by buman sympathics and permected by all ~cheerful influcoces. DIMANCEL CHURCH was the first in order to become a festive hall The young ladies of this church gave a wasical festival and also_a supper Tuesday evoning. Profs. Dodge and Faville, 3rs, A. W.

The parlors of this church were enlivenod by a representation of Swiss markcet scenes Thurs- day ana Friday afternoons and vvenings. The novelty of this festival excited a curious crowd, aud the mimic mart was a busy;l&dm during all the hours it was_kept open. e youne ladies of the Helpiog-Hand Soclety are credited with this happy conception, which they certaiuly car- ried out With much credit 1o themselves. The boothis and stalls in the market-place were taste- fully arranged, and con! all sorts of pretty and safable goods, 4 straw-thatched stall " for the salec of vegutables was a curious feature at a church fair, but was well patronized.
